If you want to use any of my cartoons, such as in a publication or a presentation, here are the details of what you need to do.
Apart from some educational, charity or community
use, to use a cartoon you need to pay a fee for the right to reproduce
it (A rule of thumb is that if you're wanting to use a cartoon as part
of your paid job, you need to pay me too!). The amount that you have to
pay
to use a cartoon
depends on the type of use to which it's going to be put. The
categories and prices are explained below.
If you want to use more than one cartoon - every third cartoon is free.
The prices are usually for the rights to use a
cartoon once, in one publication, or when
used in PowerPoint or similar presentations for the right to show the
presentation to a specific number of people. Purchasing the rights to
use a
cartoon unfortunately doesn't entitle you to use it indiscriminately
for ever. If you want to use an image several times in different
ways, you have to pay separately for each use. Sorry.
Payment can be made using the PayPal internet payment system (where I
send
you a specially formatted email that allows you to pay automatically
and easily over the internet) or by cheque.
If in doubt about anything, such as if you're not sure which category your use fits into, please feel free to contact me. Contact me

I don't sell my original artwork, as most of it's computer generated anyway. However, if you would like a cartoon redrawn on paper, perhaps for use as a gift, please contact me.
